In the worst weather conditions with rain and wintry cold - almost like the first meeting in 1975 - the 39th Hypomeeting took place and ended with a Canadian victory - Damian Warner won with 8307 points
40 years of the Hypomeeting - at this anniversary meeting, Trey Hardee from the USA won the decathlon for the second time after a thrilling competition.
The Decathlon's nice in that you get to know the other athletes. It's almost like everyone helps each other out. We're all out there trying to win, but at the same time there's a friendship there too. It's always fun going to meets and catching up with the other guys - Tom Pappas
